Description
The Well-Connected Community provides theoretical insights and practical guidance for people working with and for communities. This updated edition takes account of the changing political and economic context, including rising social inequalities and community tensions.
It considers new approaches to well-being, such as social prescribing and the use of social media for local and global organising. The book explains and promotes networking as a skilled and strategic intervention, offering recommendations for good practice in community development.
This model provides a framework for understanding how networking can contribute to the vitality and cohesion of community life and civil society.
